Inoculation with this single product can help to augment 20-25 kg N, 15-20 kg P2O5 and 5-10 kg K/ ha.
- Bacteria’s (Nitrogen fixing, P-solubilizing and K –solubilizing) have been tested individually in multi-location trials.
- The formulation has an extended shelf life.
- The formulation does not suffer from the general problem of bulging of bottles.
- All the three cultures maintain a high CFU count throughout its storage.
